Chapter 524: Exchange for Wild Boar
One of them said with a smile: "Trade with wild animals. How about I exchange three rabbits for your pot of food?"
It’s not that they can’t find something to eat, it’s just that they usually only eat roasted food, which is dry, and they want to eat something with soup.
Seeing that they didn't look like bad people, Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Okay, you guys can eat. But there are no bowls, so how are you going to divide it?"
Several people waved their hands happily and said, "What bowls do you need? A shovel is enough."
As they spoke, they squatted down, took the shovel and shoveled it one by one, and in a moment they had eaten up the remaining half pot of noodles, including the noodles, soup and vegetables.
Zhou Su opened his mouth wide. He had never seen anyone eat faster than his sister, but... isn't it hot?
Zhou Guo couldn't help but gnashing his teeth. This food had just been boiled and hadn't cooled down yet. Did these people have such a sharp tongue?
After drinking a pot of hot soup with noodles, everyone couldn't help but sigh in comfort. They ate too fast and didn't have time to savor the flavor of the noodles. However, it seemed to be very good and the aroma was still coming out of their mouths.
How could such a small amount of food be enough for the big men? They couldn't help but look at Zhou Guo again, grinning and saying, "Kid, do you have any more noodles? Can you make another pot for us? The noodles you make are really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious noodles since I was a child. You are amazing!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Guo didn't buy it. She used these tricks to deal with others.
He smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, it's gone. We need to eat the rest on the way. What are we going to eat after we finish it?"
She really didn't prepare much. She had a big appetite and it would take only one day to reach Yunzhou. Why should she prepare so much?
Several people looked at each other, stood up and said, "Well, we will go into the forest to hunt for you, and we will exchange it with you when we come back. You have to cook more noodles then."
Before Zhou Guo could answer, several people picked up their weapons and headed for the mountain on the side. Hunting was not worth anything to them.
Zhou Su watched them walk away, then said, "Sister, let's go."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Why are you leaving? We haven't even finished our noodles yet. Are you scared?"
Zhou Su shook his head and said, "Not really, I just feel that their aura is different, it's a bit creepy."
Zhou Guo was stunned, touched her chin, and looked at the backs of several people in deep thought. Why didn't she notice it? "What's the difference in the aura of these people?"
Zhou Su thought for a moment and said, "They smell fishy, as if they are about to eat us at any moment."
Zhou Guo said, "I'm afraid these guys have dirty hands. They say they are refugees, but they don't look like that. Refugees don't look like that. They say they are bandits, but that's not right. They didn't bully us two weak kids. They just said whatever we said, and they had guns and knives in their hands..."
After a moment, his eyes narrowed and his imagination opened up: "I see. Do you think they are deserters who retreated from some battlefield? No, I'm not that reasonable. Could it be that they are the escorts who were robbed? Or the martial arts family who were hunted down?"
Zhou Su shook his head honestly, "I don't know."
After thinking for a while, he said, "However, the aura they exude is quite similar to yours sometimes."
Zhou Guo: “…”
Well, it seems like she has quite a bit of blood on her hands, too.
The two finished the noodles in their bowls and shared the fish. Although it was not a shadowless fish, it tasted good.
Zhou Guo touched her stomach and looked at the empty bottom of the pot. It was a pity as she was not full yet.
Zhou Su, with his bulging belly, took a walk by the water. With his sister by his side, he was not afraid of anything.
Zhou Guo grabbed a handful of wood ash and used it to wash the bowls, chopsticks and iron pots. Fortunately, he didn't add any oil, otherwise they wouldn't have been clean.
After washing, I lay in the carriage for a while.
She didn't know how long it had been, she just heard Zhou Su's scream in a daze, she opened her eyes quickly, turned over and sat up, looked in the direction where he made the sound, and saw that he was fine, she was relieved.
Then he looked in the direction he was looking and saw the men coming down the mountain carrying a wild boar.
I couldn't help but be shocked. They could easily catch a wild boar in the mountains. What did they need to eat? If they ran out of food, they could just hunt and trade with others. I don't know how they ended up like this. It seemed like people were saying they had no shortage of food?
Several people lifted the wild boar and put it in front of Zhou Guo with a bang. They wiped the sweat off their heads and said, "Kid, look, the uncles have killed such a big one for you. How about exchanging it for a bowl of noodles? Isn't that nice?"
Zhou Guo looked at the dead wild boar on the ground and estimated that it might weigh about 100 kilograms. "How many of you are needed to carry such a small pig?"
Several smug men suddenly choked and gasped.
One person said, "It's not necessary on normal days. I can carry it out by myself. This means you haven't eaten for two meals. Are you hungry? We spent a lot of effort to catch this guy, and we don't have much strength left."
"That's right. My hands and feet are weak now. I don't know if it's because I'm hungry. Hurry up." One of them sat on the ground and started shouting.
Zhou Guo looked at them and said, "My brother and I only brought two or three meals of food with us when we went out. Even if we cooked all of it, it wouldn't be enough for so many of you."
"Ah? What should we do then?" When they heard that there was not enough to eat, they all became anxious. Then they looked at the big wild boar on the ground and said, "Let's cut the wild boar meat into pieces and roast it. There is so much meat."
Everyone looked at Zhou Guo, after all, the wild boar was for her.
Zhou Guo's eyebrows jumped. He didn't expect them to be so trustworthy. He immediately felt good about them and said with a smile, "Since the uncles had helped to bring back this wild boar, it naturally belongs to you uncles to take care of it."
"Oh, that's not the case. I said I was exchanging it with you, so it's an exchange. Even though your food is not enough, it still belongs to you."
At that moment, the men carried the wild boar to a dense forest more than ten feet away. They did not shave the hair off the boar, but directly cut it open, cut out the meat inside piece by piece, and roasted it over the fire.
Zhou Guo took down all the food from the carriage, including the noodles, pancakes, and remaining pine mushrooms. As for the chicken, he left it untouched. It was not very big anyway, and with so many people, it would not be enough to fill their stomachs.
She filled half a pot with water and placed it on the stove, then added green onions and pine mushroom slices. When the flavor came out, she put the noodles in. She also sliced a lot of pork that was roasting on the fire, put it in the pot, and threw in some salt.
Zhou Su put the wild vegetables he picked from the river into the pot, and a big pot of fragrant noodles with meat, vegetables and soup was ready.
The men swallowed their saliva as they smelled the fragrance.
